Rachele's birthday celebrations took place at Uncle in St Kilda on a Tuesday evening. She's a popular lady so there were many of us so we had a set banquet seated at a long table. Our one vegan diner was able to forgo the set menu and order a la carte and there were vegan options.

The banquet is a sharing affair; there are buns, wings, salad, a whole fish, rice so it's about getting the hands dirty and passing the dishes. I didn't find the dishes as good as the ones at other Asian influence eateries such as Chin Chin. The flavours just didn't come through as clearly. The crispy pigs ear banh mi lacked more filling, the flesh of the barramundi was just a bit too mushy. The chicken wings were great though as was family style feeding hour.
